Only because of the rack or the balls. There is no real skill involved except for hitting the front ball full.That was a pretty nice breakdown. I kind of bet though that if any of us mortals tried it the success rate might be 25%.

Corey's the Mad Break Mechanic.Only because of the rack or the balls. There is no real skill involved except for hitting the front ball full.
A commentator in the tournament clips mentioned the 3-point rule. All of the breaks satisfied the 3-point rule because the two corner balls go into the kitchen every time. They usually pass or collide right at the center of the head rail, where Corey bridged.
There is some minimum speed and it probably takes a very tight rack, but yes. Most players shoot harder when they are trying to make the second-row balls.The two balls behind the head ball go regardless of speed?
Corey does come up with breaks that are out of the ordinary. He has quite an understanding of the rack.

You had gaps. The wing ball with a tight rack and the one on the spot is over 90% in my experience on every table I've tried it on.When I first got my magic rack 10 or so years ago, I spent a few minutes trying to make the wing ball on the soft break (9 ball). My make percentage was super low. ...
....and this is why all BB should be put into a large heap and burned.

I think more than one of us is confused about what BB means in this context.Aww shit!!!!!
Here's how symmetrically the rack initially opens up - the 10 ball barely moves.

I may try this technique and report back, because it looks more clear cut what you are supposed to do.

Yeah, that's a pretty small category...Nothin' a beer can't fix...
